2019 North American IRONMAN Transfer Program

2019 North American IRONMAN Transfer Program

IRONMAN is giving IRONMAN (140.6) athletes an additional option to the standard refund policy. Instead of taking the standard refund, athletes registered for select North American IRONMAN (140.6) events now have the option to transfer their entry to another IRONMAN (140.6) or IRONMAN 70.3 event in North America with general entry slots still available. Athletes may move to a race sooner or later in the calendar year (dependent upon availability) and may move to another North American IRONMAN (140.6) event or to an IRONMAN 70.3 event.

Rules & Conditions

Process

To request a transfer simply email IRONMAN at the contact address specific to your race (email addresses can be found under the "Contact" tab of the event website. Example: , , etc.)

Expect to hear back from IRONMAN within three business days. This allows us time to verify your information and confirm space in your requested event. Transfer requests will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis.

Once your request has been processed, you will receive a unique link to transfer yourself into your requested event. Then, you will be required to pay the $50 transfer fee and any applicable price differential.

FAQ

Q: What if the event I want to transfer into sells out before I receive my registration link?
A: Depending on when you submitted your request, and how much space was remaining in the event, we will still try to accommodate your original request. However, we cannot promise that your first choice will always be granted.

Q: What communication should I expect after I email about my transfer?
A: You will receive a cancellation email for the event you are transferring out of, an email containing your registration link for the transferred event and a confirmation of the completed transfer after the registration link is emailed to you. You will be contacted if your first choice is no longer available. If this is the case, we will follow up with you to confirm you still would like entry into your second or third choice of races.

Q: Can I transfer between regions (ie, a North American race to a European race)?
A: At this time, that option is not available.

Q: I am currently registered for an IRONMAN 70.3 event, can I transfer my entry?
A: No, the transfer option is available only for North American IRONMAN (140.6) events only.

Q: What if I transfer into another event and I am unable to compete, am I eligible for a refund or additional transfer?
A: Once a transfer request has been redeemed, athletes are not eligible to receive a refund or an additional transfer should they be unable to compete in the event that was originally transferred into.
